The stove that was a drum kit

I recently saw that the band Hurra Torpedo is coming to the Double Door in June. Sponsored by Jam Productions, I clicked over to see what the hubub was about. Turns out, they play stoves, refrigerators and ice chests as percussion. Very strange. Plus, they like to let their plumber's cracks show and often are quite hairy and bearded. From whence did they come? The bits on YouTube make it look like they're quite burly northwoodsmen, but actually, they're just from Norway. There are some really great photos on the site, but the video takes forever to download, so try to get some clips here instead.
